@ Flying Dice....

Rollcage, for the PS2?

No Rollcage was racing, it was essentially Wipeout with carts that can drive upside down.

I think I know the game Dice was talking about, you had actual arenas (though the only one I can remember looked like a construction site) not racetracks, can't remember the name either but it was N64 I believe.

EDIT: Maybe Vigilante 8 but it was a long time ago so I really can't be sure even for the game I'm thinking of let alone Flying Dice's one.

Impossible Ironman sometimes you need to do the alien base quicker because beating that mission does global panic reduction so it's really good to have before you lose lots of countries.

Yeah looks pretty sweet, don't have money to back now but it looks like regardless of kickstarter he will still be doing the project.

Yeah Ziggs bot is hilariously strong, dunno about Gragas so much but between Barrels and Bombs they must have zoned out enemy pretty easily.

Manamune works fine on Ryze though because once it upgrades the item fires of 3% of your current mana to do physical damage of 6% of your current mana with auto-attacks and single target spells. This proc's on Ryze's Q and W which makes it a very powerful punch. Your E doesn't get any benefit but doing the extra nukes with physical damage can be very useful when enemies stack MR against you, and the additional AD makes pushing down towers and inhibs a lot quicker.

Tbh I would rather have 4 RoA, Muramana and boots, you don't need the mana shield that much but doing the extra damage is great.

So a game like Temple Run, really really really old, you are running (towards a temple?) and you have to dodge various obstacles like arrows being shot at you. Also really old game.

Manamune on Ryze is nice. You get mana charges with Tear by using your abilities, once you get manamune you can also do it with auto-attacks and once you reach full charges it transforms into Muramana which you can toggle to do more damage with your auto-attacks and spells.

Rod of Ages is better though. You can build ryze easily by just stacking Rod of Ages.

brought a tear to my eye, very emotional. Although making viewers crank their necks 90 degrees isn't nice :(

That 50hp stands more of a chance of saving your life than whatever you could buy with that single point in terms of Armor/MR.

It's hardly the best mastery out there, but I think you're underrating it.

Better then increasing all healing by 10% at low health? Honestly I think you underating the power that even a single extra point of armour can bring, given end game tends to be 5vs5 you end up with 5 armour and 2.5 mag res for a single mastery point, that is actually worth a lot more then a 50hp shield on it's own, hell even 1 armour and .5 mag res isn't too bad.

50hp for a mastery is huge but your not getting 50hp, your getting a one-use shield to block 50hp worth of damage. You could get the 40g at start mastery and buy yourself an extra health pot which saves you dying 3 times, if you die 4 times then congrats you have made good use of your shield...

It's not 50hp though, it's a once per lifetime 50hp shield, that is one auto-attack you eat and it won't regenerate unlike actual health. For junglers you can get the same result by letting whoever helps you tank one hit. Your right that it is one mastery point but it's a mastery point at the far end of the defensive tree and there are a lot of other much better choices there (even at lvl 1).

A little bit more anecdotal but honestly every ranked game I have played in pre-season when someone has runic shield they tend to do quite badly. It's nice to know the reason why some people take it but I doubt I will ever be using it in it's current incarnation even if building for lvl 1 fights.

It's a big gamble. 50hp shield is like one auto-attack and once it's gone it's gone until you die and it doesn't scale so it's pretty shit once your hit level 3 and is pretty much a wasted point. Armour and mag res per nearby enemy champ will keep working throughout. The Second Wind mastery can be huge when at low health for extra survivability as well which could be much better for lvl 1 fights, especially with champs like WW or Nasus.

Still nice to know why people take it, even though personally I think it's stupid :P

I dunno, I think literally any other mastery has something better to offer even for lvl 1 fights. If your building deep in the defensive tree you have the 2nd wind mastery or the armour based on number of enemy champs, if you have 0/30/0 then you can change it to 0/29/1 and put that point in movement speed or quicker recall in utility. I would value that much more then a 50hp shield which I only get back if I die.

So, Runic Shield mastery, why does anyone take it? 50hp shield which only can be refreshed after you respawn after dying. I don't know why Riot put it but even more surprising is seeing people take it.

Does anyone here take it? And if so why? I would rate it as the worst mastery possible and it's a rank 16 one. It could be different if it was the last 50hp of your health so gets taken last, it could be different if it refreshed on recalling but it doesn't. I really can't understand why anyone would take it.

So I have been having an easy time going Eve this patch. It's pretty hard to try and defend against me and even when I am spotted coming in from a gank because of the ward I just get to kill the ward and come again a minute later.

I think they need to buff vision wards, I would say give them 10 hitpoints which they can regenerate over 30 seconds (0.3 hp per second) or give them 30 hitpoints, that way they are actually objectives which can be placed and challenged as well as defended. 7 hitpoints is pretty hard to defend when it can just be poked down from range. Making them go invisible again would just force supports to go vision ward wars again, supports are actually fun to play in this patch but stealth champs are pretty strong at the moment.

what I'm hearing is smartcast>mash all the buttons.

Isn't that pretty much same for all champs with no mana?
